Short
The water applied in a month falls short of the crop's net need.
April – October · Greece
A pass or a fail for every plot.
Peak Root tests an irrigation plan against the season. It uses the FAO-56 Penman–Monteith method, climate normals from Greek stations, and your own crop, soil and drip system. The calculation stays on your device.

What it checks
Deep
One dose sinks past the root zone.
Shallow
One dose is too small to wet the root zone properly.
Every month from April to October has to pass all three. The app shows the numbers behind the verdict: evapotranspiration, effective rain, leaching, and minutes per week.
Honest numbers
Temperature, rain and sunshine come from climate normals of 11 Greek stations. Where humidity, wind or sunshine is missing, Peak Root says so and uses the FAO-56 default instead of inventing a figure. Stations without a published normals file are left out entirely.
